Additional VRRP and VRRP-E parameter configuration
VRRP router type
A VRRP interface is either an Owner or a Backup router for a given VRID. By default, the Owner
becomes the Master. A Backup router becomes the Master only if the Master becomes
unavailable.
A VRRP-E interface is always a Backup router for its VRID. The Backup router with the highest VRRP
priority becomes the Master.
This section describes how to specify the interface type, how to change the type for VRRP, and how
to set or change the interface VRRP or VRRP-E priority and track priority for the VRID.
NOTE
You can force a VRRP Master router to abdicate (give away control) of the VRID to a Backup router
by temporarily changing the Master VRRP priority to a value less than the Backup. Refer to
a Master router to abdicate to a Backup router”
NOTE
The Owner type is not applicable to VRRP-E.
NOTE
The IP addresses you associate with the Owner must be real IP addresses on the interface on which
you configure the VRID.
When you configure a Backup router, the router interface on which you are configuring the VRID
must have a real IP address that is in the same subnet as the address associated with the VRID by
the Owner. However, the address cannot be the same.
Configuring Router 1 as VRRP VRID Owner
To configure Router1 as a VRRP VRID Owner, enter the following commands.
Brocade Router1(config)#interface ethernet 1/1/6
Brocade Router1(config-if-e10000-1/1/6)#ip vrrp vrid 1
Brocade Router1(config-if-e10000-1/1/6-vrid-1)#owner
Configuring Router 2 as VRRP Backup
To configure Router2 as a VRRP Backup for the same VRID, and set its VRRP priority, enter the
following commands.
Brocade Router2(config)#interface ethernet 1/1/5
Brocade Router2(config-if-e10000-1/1/5)#ip vrrp vrid 1
Brocade Router2(config-if-e10000-1/1/5-vrid-1)#backup priority 120
Brocade Router2(config-if-e10000-1/1/5-vrid-1)#advertise backup
